Although a variety of research has been done on the use of peer review activities in English as a second language (ESL) and second language (L2) writing classes, many Taiwanese teachers and students lack awareness of its effectiveness in their context. This article aims to summarize the pros and cons of peer review and to provide suggestions for before, during, and after peer review. The study findings revealed that students had learned many from receiving and giving peer feedback. The subjects seemed satisfied with the peer feedback they received, and their interest, motivation, and confidence increased due to their expanded participation and feedback. In giving peer feedback, most subjects tried their best to solve the difficulties they faced in order to provide accurate comments, thus demonstrating a desire to be responsible for their own learning. The use of peer review allowed them to perceive their language learning in a different way, which may lead to a higher success rate in students' writing performance. |
